Swansea City received a massive boost with the news that Jefferson Montero will not miss any more time due to injury.

The winger was sent home from international duty with Ecuador this week in order to see a specialist regarding a hand injury sustained in the weekend loss to Manchester United. While the club confirmed Montero suffered a fracture to his hand, the club medical staff has ruled out surgery and has cleared him to play immediately while wearing a protective cast. Swansea manager Bob Bradley will be surely be comforted by the news knowing Montero only just returned last weekend from a calf injury. Nov 10 - 10:12 AM

Jefferson Montero has recovered from an ankle injury and, according to Bob Bradley, will be available for selection when Swansea City host Manchester United.

Montero has been out since September 18 and had only made four appearances from the bench so far in league play this season, but he could possess the tools Bradley is looking for as the new manager continues to tinker with his squad. He is more likely going to find his role on the bench should he make the team sheet this weekend but may be worth monitoring in deeper head to head and salary cap leagues going forward.

Jefferson Montero has been kept out of the matchday squad for Swansea City's tilt with Liverpool as the winger is dealing with an ankle injury.

Montero is one of three Swans who were not injury flagged heading into the day, only to have the information released after the club submitted their team sheet. The Ecuadorian international has yet to make a start for Swansea in league play this season but has made a few appearances in the final half hour of matches as a substitute. He had just signed a new contract last week that will see him committed to the club until 2020 but, for today, Francesco Guidolin will not be able to call on him. On the bright side, the international break will give Montero time to recover before the Jacks Week 8 clash with Arsenal. Oct 1 - 8:08 AM

Swansea City put in a performance they would like to soon forget as they lost 3-0 to Newcastle United.

There was a single moment in today's match that summed up the day for the Swans. Gylfi Sigurdsson lined up for a free kick in a position that is always prime for some of his set piece magic, and he slipped while following through, sending the ball sailing into the stands. There just wasn't sense of urgency from the Jacks today, with only occasional glimpses of promise shown by the recently reinstated Jefferson Montero. They left very little work for the Newcastle defense to do, a unit that has typically been very poor. Meanwhile, the Swansea defense were beaten to many a ball and they allowed the Magpies too many opportunities to create chances. While they may be safe from relegation, this has been a very disappointing season from a usually consistently competitive side. They will need to shake things up drastically over the summer.
